... happening right this moment. This sparked my interest greatly. I mean we can all benefit from a little focus, right? So, I began reading the book.

... my problem? Then there is the fear I have of making the wrong decision. What if I pick a school or major that I end up hating or having no interest in at all after I get there? Is that a contradiction to my last paragraph? I realize that I always have the oppotunity to change what I do not like, but there is also that fear of time and money wasted. I feel I need the change of scenery that such an investment would bring, but what if I am dead one year from now.
